Hi Angie! I did some quick checking, and there were Zipfels in Freeburg, Belleville, New Athens, and Mascoutah during this time frame. I didn’t know if that might help with figuring out your missing place. Still enjoying the diary first thing every morning. Thanks!
Thanks, Roberta! Bertille’s writing is sometime difficult to decipher so I appreciate any help. Glad you are enjoying Tillie’s Tales.
